Android Question To open with

[Sergey_New]

How do I tell device that text files with a .ged extension should be opened by my app?

 

[Andrew (Digitwell)]

Just tried on a Pixel 5 using the built-in Google Files app. The app appears in the list of options when trying to open a .ged file.

I can't help with that further.

I understand. Many thanks for your help!
I have a Samsung Galaxy S23 FE

I did the following, adding the line <data android:scheme="content" />:

AddActivityText(Main,
  <intent-filter>
  <action android:name="android.intent.action.MAIN"/>
  <action android:name="android.intent.action.VIEW" />
  <category android:name="android.intent.category.DEFAULT" />
  <category android:name="android.intent.category.BROWSABLE" />
  <data android:scheme="content" />
  <data android:mimeType="*/*"/>
  <data android:pathPattern=".*\\.ged" />
  </intent-filter>
)

Now my application name appears in "Open with". In this case, the application opens both .ged files and unregistered file extensions in the application.
What can be done to exclude files with unregistered extensions?

with unregistered extensions?

You should always create a new thread for any new question. Posting one question after the other is the wrong way in this forum.

This question is a continuation of my topic, which did not find a solution.

this way works for me:

AddActivityText(Main,
<intent-filter>
        <action android:name="android.intent.action.VIEW" />
        <category android:name="android.intent.category.DEFAULT" />
          <data android:mimeType="*/*" />
          <data android:pathSuffix="\\.ged" />
        <data android:host="*" />       
</intent-filter>)

tested on android 12 and 14 with standard file manager

this way works for me:

Tested on Samsung Galaxy S23 FE with Android 14.
My application name is not displayed on .ged files
And if the file is .txt, then is displayed.
